How to Schedule Articles for Expiration

 

ProProfs Knowledge Base allows you to automatically hide an article from public view through its “Published Till” setting. This means you can set an expiration date for an article based on your needs. You can also set a period for which you want to keep the page or article live on your knowledge base site. 

 

To do this,

 

1. Open a page to edit and click the gear (Setting) icon.

 

Open a page to edit and open its settings

 

2. Go to Advanced Settings. In the "Published Till" field, select the date on which you want this page to expire.

 

Set article expiration date

 

Here's an interesting feature to note: You can set a specific duration for your article to be published by specifying the "Published On" and "Published Till" dates. This allows you to control the visibility of your content based on your needs.

 

Once done, click Save.

 

How to Edit a Page

 

Step 1: Hover the mouse over the page and click the settings icon on the sidebar. Click ‘Edit.’

 

Step 2: Add the content.

Once you’re done editing the page, save the draft and update it to publish.

 

NOTE: If the user begins editing a page that someone else is working on, a warning will be displayed, letting you know who is already editing that page. It is a good idea to leave the page and come back later. However, you can continue editing the page.

Step 1: Right-click on the page in the Table of Contents of which you wish to create the copy.

 

Go to Copy To
